Folks,
As a long time FFR fan and builder, I knew this day would come eventually, but I just didn’t know when. Well after 7 years of driving my Mk3.1 (and fully 13 years after kit delivery) it is time to part with my Cobra. I had a blast building the car with my kids, and I’ve had a blast being the focus of attention everywhere I went. But in the last couple of years I have been driving the car less and less, and regrettably in all of 2021 so far I’ve only managed a couple of hundred miles. The car is in great shape, just about 4K miles and fully dialed in, and is a stunning head-turner, but it’s time for it to go to another owner who will get better use out of it.
The car is located in the SW corner of Houston and I am asking what I think is a very fair price of $38K. It is titled in Texas as a 2014 Assembled Vehicle (ASVE) with the comments “Replica 1965 Cobra”. Under the Texas Street Rod & Custom Vehicle program, I have only had to get it inspected once at the start.
